The 35-year-old rushed to help his girlfriend but before he could reach her, she lost her grip and plunged to the ground, hitting the side of the building, before landing face down on the concrete below.

But less than two weeks after the fall Miss Muise was back home and is remarkably set to make a full recovery.

The 27-year-old, who has an eight-year-old daughter, is set to make a full recovery, in spite of breaking her back, collarbone, several ribs, both her wrists and arms

Miss Muise fell from the seventh storey of her apartment in Canada, after she had been drinking with friends and her boyfriend

Recalling the frightening evening, Mr Allen said his first reaction was to think that his girlfriend was dead, as it was impossible for anyone to survive such a fall.

He said: 'It all happened in a split second, I heard a friend gasp and I turned to see Crissy hanging on to the balcony.

'She was holding on with one hand but before I could reach her she fell.

'My first reaction was, "Oh my God, she's dead".

'I ran downstairs and I didn't know what to think, she was just lying there on her back.

'I ran over to check if she was breathing and I heard her gurgling.

'I thought she was going to take her last breaths there and then.'

Fearing the worst, medics rushed Miss Muise to hospital - but despite her horrific injuries two weeks later she is back on her feet.

She said: 'I'd been out with a few friends and we came back to mine for a couple of drinks, we had had a really nice night.

'All I can remember is being on the balcony and then waking up in hospital.

'I was in shock and panicking and couldn't figure out how I got there, I tried my hardest to ask people what had happened but I was so bruised I could barely speak.

'I can't remember how I fell, all I can think is I tripped or lost my balance and tumbled over the side.'
